How do I know if my loved one is able to be independent?

If Your Loved One Lives Alone

If your loved one is still independent, living alone, offer assistance with errands. Make arrangements to drive your loved one to the grocery store. Make this a special event. Maybe you can arrange to take your loved one to lunch, or dinner after running errands.

Encourage your loved one to make lists, so your time together is quality and not stressed.
